About New Crops & Organics

The NC Alternative Crops and Organics Program, led by Jeanine Davis in the Department of Horticultural Science, helps farmers improve the sustainability and profitability of their farms through exploration of new crop opportunities, testing of improved varieties and production practices for conventional and organic vegetable growers, and development of environmentally friendly production systems. This is a statewide program but focuses on the needs of the small and medium size farms that make up the agricultural landscape of western North Carolina, and new farmers, hobby farmers, organic gardeners, and specialty crop producers across the eastern U.S.

NC State University and N.C. A&T State University work in tandem, along with federal, state and local governments, to form a strategic partnership called N.C. Cooperative Extension, which staffs local offices in all 100 counties and with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
